rebels are trying to overthrow the government of bashar al assad. hundreds and hundreds of people have died. we just got video in a short -- yesterday, a video posted on youtube of rebels supposedly shooting down a helicopter, using a rocket. some sort oh of rocket. we saw the pilot's bloody body, at least we think so, on the ground. and now the news comes today the internet has been shut down in the entire country of syria. so what does this mean? nick pay ton walsh is in beirut, lebanon, on the phone. nick, can you explain the implications of this for us? >> reporter: we don't know why it has gone down. i think the implication is the government has chosen to cut it off. that's a suggestion from most observers. that would suggest they have made the calculation in their heads that the internet is providing the opposition, the rebellion, who place on line much information about their progress, videos about what they have been able to achieve, that's been assisting them more, and, in fact, assisting the government. it would suggest some sort of crisis

security resolutions aimed at imposing tough sanctions on the assad regime. when russia isn't using their veto power, they're arming the assad dictatorship with over $1 billion in weaponry including attack helicopters they are using to continue terror against their citizens in syria. let me be clear. while i fully oppose russia's actions in syria, this bill is no gift to russia. in fact, this bill has teeth. it brings russia into a rules-based system. it's good for america, good for our economy and our jobs. and i think it strikes a critical balance by giving critical assistance to american companies that want to export their products to russia's growing middle class, supporting good-paying jobs here at home. however, forcing russia to play by the rules and, again, providing binding penalties if they fail to livep
